ROGER COSLETT
Final dress rehearsal of the Ag
gie Player’s “R. U. R.” production^
i on the Gulon Hall stage this even
ing will still find “Willie” pro
claiming the superiority of metal
robots. --
Willie, the robot who has been
seen roaming the campus the past
few weeks, has announced far
' . »nd wide that the human type ro-
1, bots that are to appear in the
“R. U. R.” sketch will never be
o as popular as the metal type.
He may, or may not have a basis
for his claim. After all he, as a
* metal robtft, isn’t bothered by
troubles that make the human heart
heavy, or problems that weigh up
on the human brain. "T
c , But then again, he can not ex
perience feelings as ido human ro
bots. And a human robot needs
not fear that his joints will rust
if he is <paught out lln the rain.
Which is more superior, “Wil
lie or the “R. U. R.” type ro
bot, is a question that can only
be answered if you see the play
this Thursday or Friday evening
at 8 p. m. on the Guion Hail
stage.
“R. U. R.” is George Dillavou’#\ ( ,
ninth production since he took r
over the director's reigns along
with his teaching duties back in
1946. This past summer Dillavou
teamed with Bill Turner, the
Singing Cadet director, to present
' ‘ “The Chocolate Soldier’’ in the
•newly erected band shell.
Karl “Bucko” Wyler will share
starring honors with Jeanne Ost-
. 'her. Wyler will play the part of
Doman;' Miss Ostner will appear
- as Helena Glory. - .
Supporting this capable duo will
be George Williams as Alquist;
Chuck Benshelter as Dr. Gall; Ver
non Berry as Fabry; Gordon Milne
as Hollemeir; Elmore Tom as
Busman, and Countess Jones as
NSna.

Until January
The White House said yes
terday that President Truman
will delay appointing a suc
cessor to David E. Lilienthal
until after congress, recon

Lilienthal Has promisfed to stay
on the job, briefly as chairman of
the Atomic Energy Commission
if any “pending work requires it”
after his resignation becomes ef
fective at tHe end of year.
The name of A&M-System chan
cellor Gibb GHchrist had been men
tioned among the list of possible
successors after a Dallasite, Har

Truman by fetter Saturday to ap
point Gilchrist to the post.
In the letter, Hines described
Gilchrist as the “one man who can
straighten out your (Truman’s)
atomic troubles, Pnd coipe very
near to keeping them that way”.
Gilchrist, however told a Battal
ion reporter Monday, that “I don’t
know a thing about it. Further
more I like it here (at A$M)”. .
The chancellor continued that
he didn’t know what prompted
Hines to; write the letter and that

Subsidized Ag ’50 Team Wins
CHUCK CABANISS
Battalion Co-Sports Editor
A powerful Aggieland ’50 foot
ball team struck swiftly in the
early minutes of the 1949 Press
Bowl contest Friday to take a
7-0 lead and then fought off the
desperate attak of The Battalion
squad to win the Kyle Field
(Annex) clash by that seven point
margin.
The Batt-men won the toss and
chose to receive the kickoff. “Bul
let Bob” Price, burly 125-pound
blocking back, took a handoff from
Batt guard Jerry “Botchey” Zub-
er on the kick but was stopped or)
his own 25 by end Chuck “Leon”
Cabaniss of the Aggielanders.
“Leon” again shqwed undaunted
courage by casting his 190-pounds
in the path of the powerful Price
and snagging “Bullet Bob’s” flag
two yards behind the line of scrim
mage.
On second down quarterback
"Ragin’ Rog” Coslett attempted an
aerial to “Dazzlin’ Dave", the oth
er half of the famous Coslett broth
er combination from Miles, but the
Aggieland defense broke up the
play. - I I - '
Double Reverse Fails
Third down found the frustrated
Batt-men engineering a double re
verse with “Ragin’ Rog" giving
the pigskin to Price, who in turn
Handed off to wingback “Dazzlin’
Dave”. A possible gain on thh. in
tricately performed play waa for-
stalled when the churning runne

_jck from center Henry “Kl” La- diatinguith
cour touched the ground on the 20
and under intramural flhg football
rulea, the ball went to the Aggie
landers at that spot.
W. E. “Bruiser” Jones of the
icked u;
potent Aggieland team picked up to gain at end, and his ]
two yards over the middle before second down- waa incompl >
Lacour, rampaging Batt line-Jthe rugged yearbook conbo wan
backer, snared his flag. Jones car
ried again on second down, bulling,
twisting his way to the one before
fullback Weldon “Juanie” Aldridge
wrested “Bruiser’s” flag free to
halt his progress.

j ‘BTuiser’ Jones Scores
Jones thrust himself o^er the
middle for the third time on the
next dowq and scored standing up.
Quarterback “Accurate Al" Dennis
planted h‘ 3 trained toe in the
spheroid and sent it straight be
tween the uprights to raise the Ag
gieland point total to sevm.
The remainder of the first half
saw the air filled with passes as
“Ragin’ Rog” and “Accurate Al”
attempted a total of eight more
tosses before the intermission. Only
two were completed, one by Cos
lett to Price, for no gain and the
•other by Dennis to “Jam-ip Jim”

Battalion Threatens
The Battalion “beaucoup pla
toon” system under the direction
of playing coach Bill “Barlow
Bones” Billingsley began, to pay
off at this point. "Ragin’ Rog”
Coslett lofted a short pass to broth
er Dave for no gain, but the over
eager Batt-men drew a 15-yard
penalty for illegal use of hands.
“Dazzlin’ Dave” tried the tough
Aggieland line, but was stacked
up for no gain by tackles “Big
Shot” Cannon and “Ruff-Stuff”
Hall. R. Coslett again went to
the air lanes, despite the hard
rushing of ends Mike “The
Mighty” Lindner and Dave “Lobo”
Wolf, completing a pass to Sim
men on the 25.
Another Coslett toss was taken
by Aldridge on the 43 for a first
down, but “Ragin’ Rog” lost three
on the ground as linebacker-cen
ter Ted “Terrific" Whitlow piled
up the interference and tackle
Henry “Hulk” O’Neil and end Bob
"Battler" Gregg crashed through
to stop the runner.!
Batt Attack Stalls
I*
Coslett let fly another areial
but Bubba “Block-House” Scrim-
geour, Aggieland defensive stand
out who was hampered by an an
kle injury, batted the ball off the
field. Referee Lew Jobe stepped
of five Varda against the Batt-men
for delaying the gaime to further
handicap the papemen.
John “Tuffle” Trpley took the
ball from center, lateraled to
“Ragin’ Rog”, who attempted a
long pass that fo 1 incomplete.
Still another Coslett bullet ball
was knocked away from the intend
ed receiver on the Battalion’s fburth
down effort.
An Aggieland five-yard penalty
for delaying the game set the pic
ture-pasters back to the Patt 40
as they took over the ball. Jones
hit center on first down, but
Speck “Swordsman” Fails, Batt
end, knifed in to stop him for no
gain. A long Dennis pass was
ruled complete at the 15 by umpire
Bob Smith when Batt halftmck
Frank “Climber” Manitzas inter
fered with the intended receiver.
Darkness Interferes
Jones bucked up the middle
again, but defensive end Lewis
“Dry Bones” Burton and mauling
back "Geno” Goltob spared his flag
to hold him to no giin. The other
Batt terminal star, Dean “Ripper”
Reed, charged in to stop Jones for
a four-yard loss on the next down.
Two unsuccessful runs by “Bat
tler” Gregg failed to gain and the
ball went over to the desperate
Batt-men.
Quarterback Coslett tried his
special sneak play oyer center but
the Aggieland defense was ready
and he gained only three yards.
With only one play left, “Ragin’
Rog” attempted a long pass as a
covey of receivers sped downfield
undet the protecting cover of semi-
darkness—L. O. “Choo Choo”
Tiedt, “Dazzlin, Dave*” and “Killer”
were all under the descending
spheroid, but hard-charging de
fensive safety Scrinigeour crunch
ed his way into their midst and
the ball fell awey-r-incomplete.
As the two teams gathered at
opposite ends of the field to rent
the air with a few yells for their
opponents, score keeper Clayton
“Calculatin”’ Selph announced the
final score, 7-0, and the frenzied
crowd—unseen by anyone except
your wild-eyed reporter— rushed
onto the field and carried off the
players to cries of Gig 'em, Publi

Caudill Article
Introduces New
School Designs
Considerable material of W.
W/Caudill, research engineer
of the Texas Engineering Ex-
periment Station, appeared in ^ .....
the October 1949 issue of the give students one more day to make
idays, The Battalion phoned -Har
rington to determine if the .exe
cutive committee of the Academic
Council had changed its decision
in any wayi
Expressing mild surprise j that
there was any doubt as tor the
Council’s decision, Harrington;reit-'
erated their, statement of last
Friday when the council said the
old schedule still stood because
of the interruption of nqrm^l
school routine which any changes
would cause. «
“The executive committee of
the Academic Council” Harrington
said, “at its session Friday after
noon, Dec. 2, after very careful
consideration of' the requests as
presented by the committee from
the Student Senate, felt that there
is no possible way in which the
school calendar foj- this Academic
year of 1949-50 can be altered at
this date in order to satisfy the
requirement of 18 weeks per se
mester of school.’*
Harrington’s reference was to the
18 weeks of school recommended
by the Southern Regional Crediting
Association and the Texas Associa
tion of Colleges fpr their accredited
colleges.
Denial Friday
The Academic Council executive
committee’s formal denial of a
holiday extension was given: last
Friday to a committee of the; Stu-
dent Senate. The committeei had
requested an extension to Doc. 17
for the beginning of Christmas
holidays, and later to Dec. 20 al
ter the first request was refused.
In their original statementj the
Council had indicated their -will-,
ingness to consider any plan by
the Senate committee which \fould
meet the 18 week requirement.
There had been some discussion
among Senate members in favor of
shifting a day from the end of the
holiday period to the first, mak
ing the holidays extend from-Dec.

Architectural Forum.
The entire issue of the mftgazine
was centered on schools with the
them^ that "Children—hol anks,
planes or bombs—were the great
est output of the United States
during World War II. These war
babies, seven million of them, be
gan hitting the first grade last
year. j
Caudill’s article introduced the
section of the magazine demoted to
the five basic requirements; of ob
taining an up-to-date school. Of
these requirements, he covered the
subject of long-range planning
covering education, architecture,
and finance. The article stressed
that surveys must be conducted for
effective long-range programming.
Long-term plans would include
three programs determined by sur
veys: educational (what is to be
taught?^—kinds of teaching that
best serve the community, the com
munity’s educational philosophy,
and needed curricular changes: ar
chitecture (what sort of school
plant?)—number of children to be
served, facilities needed, site loca
tion of new schools, and extent of
old buildings utilization; finance
(what sources?)—limits of assess
ed valuation, bonds that can be
voted, and availability of state or
federal aid.
The article described how the
surveys coula be conducted to ob
tain the necessary statistics upon
which to base the programming
of the school plan. « j
In the review section of the
same issue of the magazine Cau
dill's early research with schools
was quoted In a discussion of the
book “Schools” by Lawrence Per
kins and Walter Cocking . The re
view commended Caudill’s high es
timate of 35 feet per student of

teaching.
